LeBron James gets emotional about playing with son Bronny

The Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder will duke it out in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday, May 5, and the Thunder are heavily favored to take this series, largely due to All-Star guard Luka Doncic being out with an injury.

LeBron James, of course, is a factor that will weigh heavily on the Thunder. The 41-year-old veteran may even help the Lakers pull off an upset ns this series, even those the odds say otherwise.

For James, the NBA isn't just about professional basketball. It's also about family. He's on the same team as his son, Bronny James, and that makes this time in his career extra special.

During an episode of his "Mind the Game" podcast with Steve Nash , James talked about what it's been like being on the same team as Bronny James and playing together this season.

"I believe we scored 10 straight points between the two of us," James said on the show. "I think we both had a three and we both had a layup, whatever the case may be. I was able to throw him a lob and we had that mini run between the two of us and that was just something that I would never ever forget."
